To aid in the implementation of this Policy, Forward & Upward Constructions will:

Comply with all relevant statutory requirements, regulations and codes of practices, making adequate provision of resources to meet these;

Provide information, instruction and training for employees to increase personal understanding of workplace hazards and to ensure proper supervision;

Set short and long-term objectives in health and safety management as part of an ongoing action plan and regularly review our performance and the performance of our managers and company personnel, against the objectives of this policy.

We recognise that there is no task that is so important or so urgent that it releases the company, its managers, employees or sub-contractors from the responsibility to ensure a healthy and safe work environment.
